Now, we all know that common feeling… That feeling of frustration we get after a month and a half of eating, drinking, staying up too late, and making decision after decision that doesn’t quite align with our goals. What if we came up with a plan this year, that turned that frustration into a feeling of pride following the holidays because we game planned strategies that allowed us to make decisions that aligned with our goals without giving up all the fun stuff! As the holiday season approaches I want to challenge you. Challenge you to approach the holidays a little differently this year. So here’s what I’m thinking… Let’s focus on three things this holiday season that will keep us on track and give us a head start on next year’s goals: 1. Drink Water: No I’m not saying don’t have your booze or your hot apple ciders, I’m saying...Read more

“What’s a training plateau?” A training plateau is when results slow down a lot, stop, or go backwards on the way to specific goals. A training example would be if your ultimate goal is the deadlift 300 lbs, but for the last year you’ve been stuck around 265 lbs on your best day. A body composition example would be if your ultimate goal is to reach 15% body fat, you saw some great progress when you first started, but that progress stopped and you’ve been hanging around 18% body fat for the last 2 years. You get the picture. It’s when the GAINZ stop rolling in. Now if you’re like me, you don’t like this feeling. You like the feeling of success.  You like the feeling of getting closer towards your goals on a regular basis. Building it brick-by-brick. So how do we prevent or break through training plateaus? The...Read more

It’s Bluprint’s 6th birthday on Oct 23rd, 2020 and every year brings newfound knowledge, relationships, and you guessed it…GAINZ. Here’s a snapshot of some of the most important things we’ve learned about health & fitness over the last 6 years. Culture Is Queen The traditional gym is made up of a mix of good and bad egos…and over the years, we’ve encountered it all. But by creating systems, communication, coaching, and programs centered around two main goals – Fun & Results – we’ve been privileged to build a culture that attracts rockstar personalities without toxic egos. This type of atmosphere is where coaches & athletes thrive. It makes working out fun, team-based, empowering, challenging, and invigorating. It builds lifelong friendships and life changing results. That’s what it’s all about! Mindset Matters More Than You Think You spend the MOST time with yourself. And by building a strong mindset, you’ll build...Read more

This is a great question. Does the quality of your food matter? The answer is easy – It Depends. To be honest, I use the cheapest gas in my car to save money so I guess it is strange that I DO believe the quality of my food makes a difference. I take pride in what goes into this bod. I believe we are already exposed to more toxins than we need to be, so if we can limit the toxins we are consuming via the food we eat, our bodies will thank us in the future. Here is what I know. From studies done on pesticides (aka the straight up shat sprayed on your fruits and vegetables to protect them from da bugs) the findings have shown differences amongst types of fruits and veggies and how much of those pesticides are transferred to you through consumption. The fruits and...Read more
